About Clerk

Clerk is on a mission to solve user management once and for all. We are a globally distributed team dedicated to providing best-in-class developer experience, with obsessive attention to every detail. Today, we provide developers with full-stack React components and hooks like , , , useUser , and useOrganization . These APIs allow developers to build hard-to-get-right user and organization management flows. We believe that a component is worth a thousand APIs .

What you’ll do

As a Growth Engineer, you’ll help developers succeed faster with Clerk by shipping measurable improvements across our growth surfaces—SDK, docs/quickstart, dashboard onboarding, backend, and email. You’ll move quickly and learn in public with a team that cares about craft and outcomes.

We will expect you to:

• Ship experiments across any surface (Clerk SDKs, docs/quickstart, dashboard, backend, email/CRM).

• Collaborate across engineering, design, product, and marketing to improve developer’s experiences using Clerk.

• Operate across the full stack: Next.js + JavaScript/TypeScript (including our JS SDK), Go services backed by Postgres; BigQuery and PostHog for analysis and flags.

• Establish clear hypothesis and success metrics for every experiment; instrument, launch behind flags, monitor, and share read-outs.

Who you are

• Five+ years hands-on software engineering.

• 1–2+ years running growth experiments in PLG/SaaS (dev tools experience is ideal).

• Full-stack fluency with professional experience in JavaScript/TypeScript (Next.js) and Go , plus strong SQL .

• Confident with your data. You can define events, query BigQuery , and analyze in PostHog and Hex (or something similar).

• You ship unblocked, communicate clearly, and close the loop.

• You’re driven to understand the “why” behind everything and can focus that intense curiosity into action.

• You’re user-focused and all about open collaboration. You should be comfortable talking to developers and sharing dashboards, PRs, and read-outs.

• Excited to embrace and leverage LLM-based tools to drive engineering work.

• You should be based in North America or Western Europe time zones . Core hours are your regular workday in your timezone.

Nice to haves

• Evidence of sustained experiment velocity (e.g., ~3+ valid experiments/month over multiple quarters).

• Experience working on SDKs or developer onboarding flows.

• Progressive delivery/feature-flag best practices ; basic experiment design/stats literacy.

Benefits

• Competitive Salary - We value the skills and experience you bring to the table and ensure you’re fairly compensated.
